The park has great landscapes including plain known as small Serengeti, Tarangire river which act as major magnet for animals during dry season. It’s natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. The park also offers large number of Buffaloes, Zebras, Wildebeest, Giraffes, Lions, Cheetah, Leopards, Impalas, Gazelles, warthogs, and wild dogs which are occasional seen. The park is also enriched with birds with more than 400 species. During the lunch hour we will stop at picnic site for lunch and continue with game drive until evening when we drive to the campsite for overnight. Overnight at public campsite.
After breakfast we exit Tarangire and head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park Overnight at public campsite.
On this day, you will enjoy a full day game drive in Serengeti National Park. After breakfast early in the morning, you will depart for a game drive along the Sogore River circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. This is an adventure view for spotting lion, gazelle, topi, ostrich, and cheetah. There is a tourists’ center, close to public campsites, which is a well worth breathtaking after morning game drive
The center offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop where you can purchase information leaflets and maps of the area. The Kopjes circuit going counterclockwise around the Maasai Kopjes is there for your afternoon game drive after lunch. On this tour, you will have the chance to view more lion and some formidably large cobra. Overnight at public campsite.
After breakfast, you will leave from Lodge to go to northern Serengeti to witness the wildebeest’s migrations crossing the Mara River and see the Nile crocodiles’ adventures or your driver can opt to take you to western corridor of Grumeti River, depending where to find wildebeests migration. Overnight at public campsite.
After breakfast we will continue our game drive in northern Serengeti the best day to witness the wildebeests. Box lunch is provided. Dinner and overnight at 3 STARS lodge.
This day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti. You will drive from Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti to watch migration. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up central Serengeti, while in July to October they are in North Serengeti. The yearly trek is determined by the rainfalls and the location of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. Apart from wildebeests and zebras you will also spot predators such as lions, leopards and cheetahs as well as all big fives. Overnight at public campsite.
After breakfast we continue with game drive until lunch time. After lunch we head to Ngorongoro for overnight. On the way we can experience the Maasai traditional life and experience a little bit of these cultural people lives in the Ngorongoro conservations. Overnight at public campsite.
After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater for a game drive for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants, another big draw card to this picturesque national park, its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. This is only the pack that you can see easily black Rhino than any other park. We will have lunch in the picnic site.

Anirban BAmazing experience with Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris We group of 20 successfully completed Machame Route,7 Days on September,2023. Every support staff member was professional and extremely supportive. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Our team of 100 crews did everything to provide us with a memorable experience and achieving our goal of summiting with all the 20 members. We could not have achieved our goal without this fantastic team and their meticulous planning. We selected Pamoja Kilimanjaro & Safaris after negotiating with diferent safari companies. Pamoja is very reliable and reasonable in pricing. Simply Pamoja is exceptional! I would definitely recommend Pamoja to everyone.WilliamOne of the best choice for trek Kilimanjaro or safari Just done 7 days trek and 5 days safari with Pamoja and I will say glad that I chose them. Entire crew are experienced, which leads me successfully reach uhuru and capture exciting moments during safari. The last one I had to mention is Richard - owner of Pamoja, you will find out that he is treating you as a friend far more than a customer.Rex LReliable guides and meticulous pre-planning that you can trust. We say many recommendations for Pamoja on Taiwanese blogs. Before the trip began, we could sense Pamoja's dedication, and later, we discovered that the boss, Richard, personally handles all the things. What's even more surprising is that Richard even climbed with us for two to three days. As we had a member in our group who walked at a slower pace, we chose the seven-day Machame route. During this trip, we had the privilege of being guided by three outstanding guides: Israel, Omary, and Jovan, along with other incredibly friendly staff. Thanks to them, all five of us successfully reached the summit. The professionalism of our mountain guides was one of the trip's most crucial elements, and their attention to detail was evident right from the equipment check before departure.立剛 陳Nice and warm team I got 6 days with this team and they treat me like family. The whole journey was so much fun and really feel u r taking care well from the morning washing water to summit warm honey tea. The owner Richard is also a nice person, and he is not only treat customer well but his employees. He can help u to solve a lot of problems and give u really good advice.Raveendra Kumar CHelped create wonderful memories. Pamoja Kili and Safaris overall provided a very good hiking and safari experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning to do either the hike or safari. Ours was a large group with 20 hikers and that meant a support crew of 105 people. Richard and his team managed the trip very well even for such a large group. Starting from the pickup at the airport to dropping us off back to the airport after the end of our trip was done in a smooth friendly manner. All the guides and porters that supported us during the hike were very knowledgeable, friendly and very supportive. They kept checking with us all through the hike to make sure everyone was doing fine. The food served during the hike was amazing and they did check everyone's vitals each evening. They also provided additional snacks for mid-hike snacking every day. The toilets were maintained well and cleaned periodically. They paced the hike so that everyone was comfortable. The only disappointment we had was the "celebration lunch" after we completed the hike. It was a big let down with just one type of banana stew. Looks like there was some miscommunication or misunderstanding by the chefs. When Richard was made aware of this, he apologized profusely and made it up by organizing a celebration dance event by hiring a group to perform in the evening at our hotel. They helped us beyond just the hike. They made us feel like their guests by taking us to good restaurants for dinner and making sure there was someone from their team always with us, whether we went for shopping or drinks or food. Richard personally joined most part of the hike and ensured everything was going smoothly. After the hike some of us went on the safari. The safari jeeps were clean and well maintained. The guides/drivers (Joshua/ Denise) were very knowledgeable and friendly. They would answer all the questions we had and provide lot of information on their own as well about animals, people the area we were visiting etc.. They were very professional and punctual. The places they had booked for our stay during the safari were awesome. Overall a very positive experience and I highly recommend Pamoja Kili safaris to anyone considering Kilimanjaro hike and safari.Roam530431223567 days Lemosho trekking + 3 days Safari We had really good experience in Tanzania with the team Pamoja. We joined their 7 days Lemosho route tour to the Mount Kilimanjaro and also 3 days for Safari. Their trekking team is very professional and helpful. The guides were highly experienced and we felt so reassured to follow their steps and advices. They also took good care of us, even my wife got sick on the mountain, they knew how to make her feel better and summit to the top. The porters were very strong and helpful. We enjoyed a memorable trip with their help. I really recommand the Pamoja as your guide to summit the Kilimanjaro because they have experience in tailor making the trip for you. Also, they are good English speakers. If you have any problems, you can feel free to ask them and they are willing to give their helping hands. For the Safari trip, we have seen many different types of animals with detail explanations from the guide. However after the three days trip, we think 3 days are not enough for Safari. We will come back again for our next holiday.p cGreat hike/safari experience but very poor communication/service from tour operator We did Kilimanjaro hike as well as Safari with Pamoja's team. Overall trip during the hike and safari was amazing and they crew went of the way for us to have a great experience. Our group consist of 20 people and we all were able to successful summit which is amazing (thanks to the guide/crew for the Pole Pole approach). I was very impressed with crews humbleness and willingness to help all along the way but I felt Richard being a owner/tour operator did fairly poor job for pre/post hike and safari which is as follows Beside this our experience for pre-hike and host hike was quite unpleasant and the same applied for Safari experience. After the hike, our post hike lunch feast, which included bare any food to eat and we ended up going to hotel and ordering food. Most important we wasted several hours instead of enjoying our time in Moshi. Our plan for safari was communicated after 10pm to leave for tomorrow 7am which was very poor. We requested few additional rooms during our safari, which was not provided. We came back from Safari after 6-7 hours of drive, we unloaded all all belonging during the rain in the hotel, we been told that our hotel reservation was not there and needed to move another hotel. This created a stressful at 9pm whereas some of us has to leave by 6am. These are sign of poor communication and not able to provide a basic service from planning/communication standpoint. I have forgotten a package in the JEEP, it took me to remind them 4-5 times before they redeliver my package and very poor communication. Although, I really like my trip with Richard and crew but all cumulative errors made the experience with this group pretty unpleasant feeling at the end! I hope that they really take this honest feedback seriously and provide better service for future customers. Thank youManoj JKilimanjaro with Pamoja ! We hiked with group of 20 and had great experience with Pamoja Team . The whole team of 100 plus staff took care of us like family and made sure our journey and summit is successful for all of us ! Thank you Pamoja Team Manoj Jha 🙏GoPlaces44140003153Great experience and a lifelong memory Richard took good care of us, arranged everything for us including the mountain and safari, and it was totally perfect.
